   Kruza made me get my a into gear yesterday after I missed a rabbit on Saturday and plover yesterday morning. Still doing 8 pumps and using fft pellets but I was holding over too much and therefore missing. Here is the reticle for distances at 3X and knocked this pigeon over at 35 this afternoon, missed another at 55 as I didn't account for wind but the poi was perfect (does this make sense?)

	yep totally. Right height and distance but bit to far left or right. Pretty good refrance points at that setting. Nice shooting. I'm stoked your getting good use out of the 362. Too nice a tasting bird to be feeding it to the cats! Still one less cat is a bloody good 2nd choice. Putting a .25 barrel, as you were contemplating is good idea too. Figures looked OK in chair gun. It definitely went to the right home 👍

	Thanks mate. Yet right height for the 55, just 3" to the right with the wind. Absolutely enjoying how quiet it is. Found this place in the US doing big bore upgrades for Crosman 2240 platforms as wondering about converting the 362 to .25cal...., https://www.bakerairguns.com/product/big-bore/

	the 1322 and 22xx they must be off thier rockers. Pellet would just drop out the end. However your 362 (espially with that worked valve) did give all right fpe and acceptable drop graph with the lighter lead 25cal pellets. Pretty dam good results with the alloy 25cal. But the pumping ahhhhh naf that Still be a fun project and would be an easy conversion and quick to go back to 22 if ya wanted.
